wavelength AGENTS.md

An agent guide for Wavelength, a Go project that uses tools such as Docker, PostgreSQL, Protocol Buffers, and generated database queries. It lists commands for building, formatting, linting, testing, code generation, and commit checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when compiling, formatting, linting, testing, regenerating code, checking modules, or validating commit messages in Wavelength.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a compact map of the repository's approved development commands. It also distinguishes local checks from Docker-based checks and documents specialized test options.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wavelength AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quick Commands

Command Purpose
make build Compile the project
make lint-local Run full linter locally, no Docker
make lint-changed-local Run local linter on changes vs base
make lint Run linter via Docker (CI canonical)
make install-custom-gcl Build native custom-gcl for this host
make fmt Format all Go source files
make fmt-changed Format changed Go source files
make fmt-changed-check Verify changed Go source files are formatted
make unit pkg=<pkg> case=<test> Run unit tests
make unit log="stdlog trace" pkg=<pkg> case=<test> Unit tests with debug logs
make systest System integration tests (use db=postgres for PostgreSQL)
make tidy-module-check Verify module files are tidy
make rpc Regenerate protobuf stubs
make sqlc Regenerate type-safe DB queries
make ast-lint Check ast-grep style rules
make commitmsg-lint range="origin/main..HEAD" Lint commit messages on the current branch
make systest Run system integration tests (sqlite)
make systest db=postgres Run system integration tests (postgres)

Code Style (Summary)

  • 8-space tabs, 80-char line limit (best effort).
  • Every function/method gets a comment starting with its name.
  • Exported identifiers need GoDoc comments wrapped to 80 columns.
  • Organize code into logical stanzas with explanatory comments between them.
  • Function calls: closing ) on its own line when wrapping.
  • Function definitions: first param on same line, closing ) with last param.
  • Structured logging: use InfoS/DebugS/etc. with static messages and slog.Int()/btclog.Fmt() key-value pairs. See docs/structured-logging.md.
  • Production Warn, Error, and Critical logs alert a human. Use them only when the event is actionable at that severity. Expected client input, policy rejection, safe fallback, and repeated retry noise belong at Info/Debug (docs/structured-logging.md).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
